This is a joint event with the Royal College of Nursing and is part of their events series.

Refreshments will be available from 4pm.

Currently, one in five NHS staff are non‑UK nationals. Since the NHS was founded in 1948, workers from overseas have played a vital role in shaping and sustaining healthcare in the UK. Today, NHS staff come from more than 200 countries worldwide, with a similarly diverse picture seen across the social care workforce.

Join us to celebrate the achievements of international health and social care workers, and to hear directly from those who have come from across the globe to work in the NHS and social care.

The University Choir, under the direction of Matt Baker, hope to perform part of his recent work, ‘Wings of the Sky’.
